"Ahh... But you see. I must wipe out these words before others find them. Its a loose string that must be tied up."
Xankul continously wacks it as hard as he can but instead uses a chair to.
The scribe visibly gets angry and thunder can ominously be heard in the background. "It is too late!" he booms, "All have seen it and you might as well leave these words alone. They are under my protection!"
As the scribe says this he steps in between Xankul and the words, protecting them from any further damage. His hands run across the surface of the wall meanwhile, restoring the letters to their original shape.

"Who has seen it but us?"
Xankul asks in a dangerous voice "Stand aside!"
Xankul pushes ___ aside and smashes the chair against the wall destroying the chair and making the word become illegible again.
Xankul continues to throw stuff at it then stops. "Does this mean there is another force at work here. Or another god?"
Xankul goes back to the Mortal Plane
"Everyone has seen these words. If you attempt to destroy them now, you shall only prove that what they say is important. Only a few have knowledge of the location of the pearls, would it not be better to keep it that way?"
___ was pleased.
"I have no quarrel with you, Xankul. Thank you"
He made a slight bow, because he was not a very proud god and did not mind being polite. Then he restored the words best he could an returned to his room, which was still barricaded, but this could not stop a wave of sound.

Balthazon reappeared in the gods realm, stretching out after a hard night of teaching her people. She looked at the writing on the wall, then sighed and slumped at the table "Already a conflict? I don't even have any real warriors yet, let alone an army." The deity sighed "But i have to find a way to stop the wrong people from having the pearls."

"The wrong people won't find the pearls. Not even the wrong gods will"

" I have a question. Do you think of me as a wrong god?But if I wins I will be a Hero/Legend to ALL people. If i lose i will be a villan. Simple."
"You have not answered my question. Nor is your new statement very clear. Either way, when I mentioned the wrong gods, I meant no-one in particular. It was a linguistic trip, more than a concrete one"

Adoxin sighs, an audible sound barely heard but no visible expression on his silhouetted face.
"My brothers and sisters, do not quarrel. Words are forgotten, words are remembered. Beings fight, beings make truce. There is no consequence on time. It flows, as should you. Care for you people, but do not hinder your people. Encourage your people, but do not indoctrinate your people. Have them battle, but be weary of the consequence. There is consequence on people, but no consequence on time."
"Who cares about time? Time is relative. One thing is certain and that is that time we spend doing what we want with our creations is time we spend enjoying ourselves."
"Time does not need ones care, nor desires it. It is inevitable. You need time to enjoy oneself, without it one is nothing but stagnant. One can be ignorant out of time, and unknowingly can't seek nor deprive oneself from bliss. Do what you will sibling, but do not try to comprehend a mechanic that is even out of my hands. Use the continuum, do not care for the continuum."
"The wrong people won't find the pearls. Not even the wrong gods will"
"How can you be so sure? Whoever has the pearls will want to use them, whatever powers they may possess, and without a guiding morality, they could very quickly fall to corruption." She shakes her head "there is so much ambiguity in this world. clearly, i must make my people into a bastion of truth and honor."

Whale floats nearby, listening to the debate with interest. He chimes in:
"Most, if not all, people and gods will not know what to do with the power gained, and those that do are likely to use it for evil purposes, simply because evil is a faster method of gaining power."
((Yes, I just mixed real world philosophy with Star Wars.))
Pooring out of her room, Nixe turns to her fellow deities having listened in on the conversation,
I may be the youngest of us all but even I can see that whichever god or goddess gets their hands on these pearls will have more power then any single one of us, but let's not forget the power we might be able to pull together should said owner of the pearls turn that power against the other gods. Remember even the mightiest vessel can still sink under the wrath of the maelstrom.
"I say we band together if the pearl owners turn on us. Its a better choice than each other being isolated and getting destroyed by one of the more powerful gods."
"I say we band together if the pearl owners turn on us. Its a better choice than each other being isolated and getting destroyed by one of the more powerful gods."
"You speak foolishness, friend. The triumvirate exists only to prevent one god becoming more powerful than the other. Or at least, that's my vision onto it. That said, destruction should not be a problem for you. Is it not your domain? I believe all you could do is encourage it"
Edit (so I don't have to double post): There was a loud crashing to be heard in ___'s room
(This is a place other gods can not come, is it not, Emperor Demonking?).
The god came out, in the form of a wave of sound, and reshaped in the form of the old scribe. He seemed rather angry, and also rather tired. Still, ___ quickly started work on chopping the holy words out of the wall (in one piece, not destroying them).

Emrys walked into ___'s room, after removing the table that was still blocking the door.
"I'm sorry about that, I saw no reason to remove it up until now. Let's take it in as well, shall we?"
Inside lay a quite simple room. It was orb shaped with white walls. It was the kind of white that hurt your eyes. ___ gave directions to place the table in the centre of the room, and then he himself placed the stone slab on top. It took in about half the table, and this seemed to please ___.
"This way there is room for my writing. My desk is currently taken up by other activities"
___'s desk was in fact a simple white slab, invisible to the casual observer since it was the exact colour the walls were. On top of it rested a large, black pearl.
"I am sure you have heard of the betrayal of Noth?"
Spoiler
Since this is ___'s room, his power is absolute here. He doesn't want the pearl to be touched, and it won't be. Emrys is in here only because ___ allows it. I imagine this is the case with all the god's rooms. Normally, no-one can enter, but should permission to be given, even limited permission, I don't see why that would be the case

Emrys nodded at ___ for allowing him to enter his room. Putting a finger to his lips he pondered this, trying to keep his rage in check at what Noth had done.
"I see...I also understand...So he is not to be trusted then...where does that leave us? I belive if he gets both he may do horrid things with them, yet if used wisely and causiously I feel they can do the world good."
Emrys looked around the room, and nodded at how it was set up. He felt that the room portrayed ___ nicely. Looking at the black pearl, Emrys nodded to himself, decideing ___ was a safe holder of the pearl.
"Now this may surprise you, but I feel that despite Noth's betrayal the triumvirate should not split up. We had a good thing going, and it would be a shame to break it up so early on. He has betrayed us. He will have to live with this. But should the peoples of our world suffer for this? I think not"

After thinking about it for a while, Emrys nodded in aggrement.
"I too feel we should not have our people and all the others suffer for things that the gods have done. Yet how will we resolve this without open conflict?"
